<u>Define x:</u>
Let one of the numbers be x.
The other number is x + 2
<u>Construct equation:</u>
<span>twice the smaller is 16 more than the larger
</span>⇒2x = x + 2 - 16
<u>Solve x:</u>
2x = x + 2 - 16
x = -14
<u>Find the two numbers:</u>
Smaller number = x = -14
Larger number = x + 2 = -12
Answer: The two numbers are -14 and -12
Answer:
ok...?
Step-by-step explanation:
-6+ -6- -2
Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive.
-6 - 6 - -2
Subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.
-6 - 6 + 2
Subtracting a number from a negative number is like adding the positive numbers, just remember to put the negative sign in front of the number.
-12 + 2
Adding a positive number to a negative number is like subtracting a positive from another positive, but don't forget the negative sign when you're done.
-12 +2 = -10
